Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Steve Breaston has knee surgery

Cardinals receiver Steve Breaston underwent surgery Tuesday morning to repair damaged meniscus in his right knee and hopes to return after the team's off week.

Breaston was slowed last week by knee pain and was limping in the locker room on Monday.

The Cardinals play two games before their off week on Oct. 17 and then play at Seattle on Oct. 24.

Without Breaston, four of the team's top five receivers likely to play this Sunday did not catch an NFL pass before this season.

Larry Fitzgerald, the No. 1 receiver, missed most of training camp with an MCL sprain. Early Doucet, the third receiver, is out until after the off week because of hernia surgery.

It appears Stephen Williams, an undrafted rookie, will be the No. 2 receiver on Sunday against the Chargers. Max Komar, also an undrafted rookie, will be No. 3, and Andre Roberts, a third round pick, will be No. 4.

The club re-signed receiver Onrea Jones on Monday. He spent the past three years on the practice squads of the Cardinals, Redskins, Packers and Colts.
